Standard Chartered wins \u2018Islamic Bank of the Year\u2019 and \u2018Most Innovative Sukuk\u2019 Awards by The Banker, marking a milestone for its Islamic banking franchise<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Recognition highlights the Bank\u2019s Shariah-compliant platform across client segments and its sukuk structuring capability across growth markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

6 May 2026<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Standard Chartered has been named \u2018Islamic Bank of the Year\u2019 and awarded \u2018Most Innovative Sukuk\u2019 by The Banker, with the latter recognising the Bank\u2019s role in ADNOC\u2019s debut international sukuk issuance. The awards reflect the strength of the Bank\u2019s Islamic banking platform across affluent, corporate and institutional clients, and its ability to deliver Shariah-compliant solutions across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.<\/h3>\n

The awards highlight the Bank\u2019s role in supporting clients across the full spectrum of Islamic finance, from everyday banking and wealth solutions to financing and capital markets. This includes facilitating the flow of capital between issuers and investors through its global network, providing efficient access to funding and liquidity. Within this, sukuk remains a core differentiator, where the Bank supports structures that extend beyond traditional formats, drawing on diversified liquidity pools and investor participation across multiple markets, enabling issuers to raise funding efficiently and on a repeat basis.<\/h3>\n

Commenting on the achievement, Khurram Hilal, CEO \u2013 Islamic Banking at Standard Chartered, said: \u201cIslamic finance is evolving beyond single-market access. Affluent clients are increasingly investing globally, while corporates and institutions are raising capital through more diversified sources of liquidity.\u201d<\/h3>\n

He added: \u201cWe support both by providing a single Shariah-compliant platform that enables access to opportunities and capital, with the consistency and execution required to operate across markets. That ability to deliver at scale while meeting both Shariah requirements and commercial objectives is what differentiates us.\u201d<\/h3>\n

This growth in cross-border activity is reflected in the continued expansion of Islamic finance, which remains one of the fastest-growing segments of global finance, with total assets projected to grow by 36% to reach USD 7.5 trillion by 2028. Standard Chartered supports this growth, by enabling clients to access financing, investment and liquidity solutions across its network.<\/h3>\n

Central to this proposition is Standard Chartered\u2019s robust Shariah governance framework, supported by a highly respected Shariah Supervisory Committee comprising internationally recognised scholars ensuring financial solutions meet the highest standards of Shariah-compliance, transparency and integrity.<\/h3>\n

These awards demonstrate Standard Chartered\u2019s ability to deliver Islamic finance solutions at scale, supported by its global network and cross-border execution capability.<\/h3>\n
